Yeah, I know I tricked you with the title. It's been a slow day, though, and it is retro, and it is a Colt.

I've got a couple of those Tyler T-Grips...Sadly, I understand that Melvin Tyler has passed away... 
Edit: His family seems to be keeping the business going... http://www.t-grips.com/ |

T-grips are still readily available, although sometimes you have to wait a little bit for your order. They don't seem to keep standing stock. I've gotten all of mine off Ebay, and they're usually cheaper. I run them on my Smith & Wessons too. They look great and make the service stocks, well, serviceable!
That's the Colt .357, the 'target grade' version of the Trooper. It didn't last very long, just until 1958, when it was replaced by the Python. It does, however, have the finely tuned action of the Python; it just doesn't have the barrel underlug. They're generally far cheaper than Pythons, but they shoot just as well. |

Is that a 1917? Nice condition... |

Just picked up this all original 1903 Colt made in 1919 http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj149/halpark/DSC00564f.jpg Ooh ooh!!! Alan Ladd; "This Gun For Hire"... 
I've wanted one for quite a bit...ever since I saw the movie, in fact...sometime in the late '50's... 
According to Proofhouse, my Detective Special is a 1963...I thought it was older...

In the immortal words of MC Hammer,
STOP, HAMMER TIME!!!!!!!! 
This Colt .38 was manufactured in 1919. I'd play my really early Colt trump card but lets see what else shows up first. By the by, I'll bet a case of Miller High life that I've got the earliest Colt maufactured assault rifle here. |
